Through a competitive process, Public Health - Seattle & King County awarded 55 grants totaling $8.9 million to fund school districts, community-based organizations, and local governments to improve nutrition and physical activity, and decrease tobacco use and exposure in King County.

The Coalition is made up of Public Health staff, grantees and partners who are part of the King County CPPW initiative. The Coalition and coalition workgroups' goal is to foster a network in King County that builds on the work of public health and each individual organization to create a broader impact in our community. It will serve as a foundation for future collaborative efforts aimed at advancing a prevention and equity in Seattle and King County beyond the life of the CPPW initiative.

Leadership Team and Leadership Team Working Group

The Leadership Team includes high-level community leaders from multiple sectors who, when combined, have the resources and capacity to make proposed changes in policies, systems and environments a reality.

Healthy Foods Here - Seattle Office of Economic Development

$1.1 million of CPPW funds will be dedicated to providing business incentives to increase the amount of healthy food available through retail outlets in under-served communities. Participating businesses will have access to a menu of services, including merchandising and inventory management consultations; assistance in finding low-cost suppliers; financial incentives including grants, rebates, and access to lending partners; and participation in promotion and marketing campaigns designed to increase demand for healthy foods. These efforts, coordinated by the Seattle Office of Economic Development, are intended to improve the access and availability of healthy foods and beverages in South King County, Southeast Seattle and Southwest Seattle.
